These are nice, short, spooky fantasy reads for younger readers. The artwork can verge on creepy at times so watch out if the reader is TOO young, but if not then I fully recommend these books. ( )

659Andrew=Great book ! Can't wait to see the movie!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689040342, Hardcover)

It all started with a mysterious letter left at a tiny bookstore for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. Its closing lines: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone." Little could they imagine the remarkable adventure that awaited them as they followed Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace and a strange old book into a world filled with elves, goblins, dwarves, trolls, and a fantastical menagerie of other creatures. The oddest part is in entering that world, they didn't leave this one!

Five captivating books!

One thrilling adventure!
